    real new to diesels motor question

    They are all the same, It is a solvent. Do not use the vacuum line on your diesel or you will wipe out the vacuum pump, diesel engines do not produce vacuum. All of these suggestions are going on the assumption that you have a sticky lifter. Try this first but if it does not work do not be...

    Dana 44 swap, M1010

    A Dana 44F is a Dana 44 carrier in a Dana 44 housing. It is a Dana 44 front, high pinion differential usually used in 78-79 Ford F250. Myself and many others have wheeled 44 fronts with 40 inch tires for years without destroying them. It is a matter of knowing how to drive. I have a 76 CJ-7 with...

    Dana 44 swap, M1010

    Bill, I will go to bat for you. While I do agree with everyone about it being a downgrade it will be plenty strong as long as you do not overload it. Ford and Chevy both used the Dana 44 as a front in 3/4 ton applications at one time or another. I had one in a Ford 250 That had 40's on it and I...

    real new to diesels motor question

    Although I am not a big fan of additives I have seen Marvel Mystery Oil loosen up stuck lifters. This may not be your problem but it can't hurt to throw some in the oil and see what happens. Change the oil and filter at the same time, could be dirty oil. Rick

    Oil pressure safety switch

    Sorry guy's I just, do not have time to read all the sticky's or go through the classifieds. I have no internet at home and I have limited time I can play at work. I apparently have a bad oil switch. 002A started cutting out yesterday for no obvious reason, bypassed oil switch and have had no...

    sandy killed my truck help

    You are going to find that four hours under water is about 3 3/4 hours more than fording standards. In salt water at that. You will find that rust is going to form everywhere and very quickly. Anything electrical that was in contact with the salt water will need to be rebuilt or replaced...

    How can we help Sandy victims?

    I had a "so called" good Samaritan get stuck in my septic drain field trying to drive through my lawn to get around a tree in the road. They were not helping anyone and were not looking to, they were sight seeing! They are lucky they did not get freakin shot since I was in no mood for that crap...

    Looking at a m1008 and have som questions,

    The one thing that has not been mentioned here yet is rust. Think rust, lots of rust. You are in NJ, think even more rust! Front fenders and inner fenders, rockers, door and door posts, rear quarter panels and tailgates. I didn't mention the floor because it is probably already an aluminum...

    Well, It's gone.

    I'll Bet you sold it to a guy from the g838, guy named Matt? I know he was looking at one in Kansas. Rick Then again, Matt doesn't have long hair? Maybe not then. Kansas must have a bunch of 715 for sale.

    AS1729vrc antenna woes

    I think you need to read up on swr a bit, The ratio to look for is 1:1, 1: 5 is bad and 1:0 is impossible. VSWR conversion calculator

    First M1009 arrived today!!!

    With the parts I am seeing removed from the engine I am guessing the engine is bad. Check that out before going too far. Definitely before putting anything back on. They did not disassemble it for nothing. Put a socket on the front balancer bolt and go back and forth with it and see if the crank...

    AS1729vrc antenna woes

    Transmitting with no load (broken antenna) may have fried the finals in the transmitter. You need to hook up a dummy load and check to see if it is actually still transmitting. Rick

    Civil Lawsuit Regarding M109A3

    Does anyone REALLY think that the plaintiff's lawyers and the defendant's lawyers are not friends and fully intend to drag this out until nobody has any money left? The only winners here will be the lawyers and unless you are independently wealthy I can assure you that they have more money to...

    Rotating Engine Stand Suggestions for 6.2

    A 6.2 is just about the same weight as a big block so the heavy duty ones will work. That said the heavier the better. I put a 502 big block on one of the ones shown with the single runner out to two front wheels, will not do that again. With exhaust manifolds that is a 1000 lb. setup and it...
